Rad fan hooked up, tach hooked up, fixed a leak in the power steering, coolant system mostly complete (no heater core in right now. brrr.), all lights hooked back up.
I've got an appointment at a shop on Monday to get the new intercooler piping made, then it's time to tune!

Looks like it's gonna be a fun car to drive. What turbo are you running at the moment? Think it can handle anti-lag?

Keep in mind I've also got GD suspension under there, so that increases my track by almost an inch on each side. The wheels are also +25, so that's another half an inch. 1 inch + .5 in + .5 in wider wheels = 2 inches total extra.

No new pics but the suspension swap is done, still have to set everything to spec but I'm not going to do that until I've got the tires on the wheels so I can align it.
Almost entirely a bolt-on affair, pretty stoked about that. Surprised more people don't do this... My wheelbase just increased from 57.4 inches to 58.9. An inch and a half is a pretty considerable gain! Not to mention the added stiffness of the aluminum control arms and lateral links over the cheesy RS steel pieces. Tomorrow I'm going to finish stripping out the diff and hook up the e-brake cables, then start tearing into the motor to get the shiny new rods in there. I want everything ready to drop in when the car gets back from the body shop. |

haha well I ground a fairly large V-grove between the two halves >< like that, then ran my welder at high amperage with a low wire speed and filled in the gap. It's ugly, but I think it'll hold.
